安检 (ānjiǎn, "security check") is a shortened form of 安全检查 (ānquán jiǎnchá, "security inspection"), pairing the idea of safety with the act of examining.
Usage tips
- When an English speaker hears "security" alone, it can mean general protection, but in travel Chinese this word points to the screening stage at an entrance.
